I see no changes wake up in the morning and I ask myself. Is life worth living should I blast myself? I'm tired of being poor & even worse I'm black. My stomach hurts so I'm looking for a purse to snatch. Cops give a damn about a negro. Pull the trigger kill a nigga.
He's a hero.
Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares, one less ugly mouth on the welfare.
First ship them dope & let them deal the brothers. Give them guns, step back watch them kill each other.
It's time to fight back that's what Huey said, two shots in the dark now Huey's dead.
I got love for my brother, but we can never go nowhere unless we share with each other.
We gotta start makin' changes, learn to see me as a brother instead of two distant strangers.
And that's how it's supposed to be, How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?
I'd love to go back to when we played as kids but things changed, and that's the way it is.

"Come on!"
That's just the way it is. Things will never be the same.
That's just the way it is, Oh yeah-and I see no changes all I see is racist faces. Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races. Were all under, I wonder what it takes to make this world a better place, let's erase the waste. Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right because both black and white is smoking crack tonight and only time we chill is when we kill each other it takes skill to be real, time to heal each other. And although it seems heaven sent, we ain't ready, to see a black President. It ain't a secret, don't conceal the fact the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks. But some things will never change, try to show another another way but you're staying in the dope game.
Now tell me what's a mother to do? Being real don't appeal to the brother in you.
You got to operate the easy way,
"I made a Grand today,"
But you made it in a sleezy way. Selling crack to the kid. "
I gotta get paid,
"Well hell, that's the way it is.
We gotta make a change.
It's time for us as a people to start making some changes. Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live and let's change the way we treat each other.
You see, the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do what we gotta do, to survive.
And still I see no changes. Can't a brother get a little peace? It's war on the streets & the war in the Middle East. Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me.
And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do, but now I'm back with the blacks givin' it back to you. Don't let them jack you up, back you up, crack you up and pimp slap you up. You got too learn to hold your own they get jealous when they see you with a mobile phone. But tell the cops they can't touch this I don't trust this.
And when they try to rush I bust this!
Yeah, that's the sound of my tool.
You say that ain't cool but my mama didn't raise no fool. And as long as I stay black I got to stay strapped & I never get to lay back. Because I always got to worry about the pay backs.
Some buck that I ruffed up way back coming back after all these years, rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat That's the way it is.
